Mission Statement
The Baruch College Department of Athletics & Recreation is committed to advancing the educational mission of the City University of New York by fostering an inclusive environment that promotes academic success, competitive excellence, leadership development, and lifelong wellness.
Rooted in the values of NCAA Division III athletics, the department provides opportunities for all students, whether participating in intercollegiate athletics, intramural sports, fitness programs, or recreational activities, to grow as scholars, athletes, and citizens. We believe that participation in sport and recreation enhances the overall college experience by encouraging teamwork, discipline, integrity, and respect for diversity within a vibrant and dynamic urban community.
Through comprehensive athletic, fitness, and wellness programming, the Department of Athletics & Recreation seeks to develop the whole student, strengthen Bearcat pride, and inspire a commitment to personal health, social responsibility, and excellence on the playing field, in the classroom, and beyond.
